We all know the how a 20/80 mix of toluene/petrol increases 93 octane petrol to 96.4 octane, but what most people don't realize is that you can tune for toluene and get more reliable power from the car, as this chart shows:

Note: Peak boost set at 1.35bar (reason - owner is a track regular & using Evo IX Magnesium/Titanium turbo). -- of worthy mention are the gains in the USABLE POWERBAND, and not just the increase in PEAK power and torque

Between 6th to 8th April 2007, The Banana will be flying in to Dubai for a tuning session to formally kick off the UAE chapter of Team Fruity.

Equipped with his trusty notebook and Innovate wideband O2 kit, 4 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolutions ranging from stock to the only Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR RS in the Gulf region will be tuned for street and track. A Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX will be specially tuned with multiple MIVEC maps to allow optimal performance in a multitude of environments.

Already, the Evolution VIII MR RS has been tuned remotely, bringing power up from a stock 250 whp under a setup consisting of 3" TBE, Walbro GSS342 255lph fuel pump, open element filter) and to a staggering 342 whp and over 340 lb/ft wtq (with the addition of HKS 272 cams). And that's just with the stock 9.8T turbocharger!

Team Fruity cars are benchmarked using DataLogLab, a leading data analysis tool used in the tuning process, from which power and torque curves are generated, and providing a consistent methodology for power and torque graph generation across the Team Fruity network.
